Our assessment
The evidence shows that PhysioLogics Melatonin Liquid is a supplement for which we have very limited data. The only ingredient identified in the provided data is Calcium, not Melatonin, and specific data for this product's intended active ingredient is missing. Our assessment is that we cannot confirm the product's contents or efficacy based on the information available.
How it works
Based on the data provided, this product is listed as a melatonin liquid, but the only ingredient with supporting information is Calcium. Calcium works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and through neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data on how the intended ingredient, melatonin, works is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. For the identified ingredient Calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Side effects for the intended ingredient, melatonin, are not available in the provided data.
Our recommendation
Because the data provided does not confirm the active ingredient (Melatonin) or its safety profile, we cannot recommend this product. If you are considering a melatonin supplement, consult your healthcare provider for a product with complete, transparent ingredient and safety data. For the calcium component, be aware of potential interactions with medications like bisphosphonates and antibiotics [NIH ODS].
